Consider how many patients Beacon Community Services administers to, and multiply that amount by them.  Yet when did VIHA bother to send in someone to make sure the services supplied, are what is being paid for?   So much for being Conservative, don't you think?  Sort of more like spendthrift is you ask me.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://mymotherslife.com/2012/02/home-support-is-for/' addthis:title='Home Support is for&#8230; ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

Like it is their job to wash out the commode, used or not. It is their job to dispose of the dirty depends, to put the dirty laundry into the dirty laundry basket, not mine. I am supposed to get 50 minutes break, not wind up doing more work, like insuring they aren't ripping Mom's arm out of her socket, or causing more open sores in her groin. PAY ME BCS and Mom may live to be 95.  Keep it up and you'll have her dead and buried before she can turn 95 in May.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://mymotherslife.com/2012/01/i-am-tired-of-doing-beacons-job/' addthis:title='I Am Tired of Doing Beacon&#8217;s Job ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

Today it seems the mantra is about disposable people. Seniors don't pay taxes, or work, so they simply are irrelevant to Government. For businesses like Beacon, they are merely a commodity that has a ready supply of, so why worry if you kill a few off.  There are lots more to replace them with.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://mymotherslife.com/2012/01/assaulting-old-people-disposable-people/' addthis:title='Assaulting Old People &#124; Disposable People ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>

All because some people, who think they are professionals, are incompetent. Oh she may be good at cleaning up, at helping people who can do most things on their own, but not for someone who needs lots of assistance. She is a bully, head strong, and dangerous. Safety of the Patient needs to be paramount, not secondary.  Thank you Edna for a very stressful afternoon, and days to come.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style" addthis:url='http://mymotherslife.com/2011/12/pity-the-people-in-ednas-care-others/' addthis:title='Pity the People In Edna&#8217;s Care &#38; Others ' ><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a></div>]]></description>
